tonyhays 86 #1633 April 5, 2016 Any news yet on MHS's response to the appeal? Don't they have a limited time to respond to it?“That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.” Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JerryBaumchen 1,445 #1634 April 5, 2016 Hi tony, QuoteDon't they have a limited time to respond to it? They do not have to respond. They can merely let it go before the court for a decision. They just might be thinking that the judge will dismiss the appeal. Jerry Baumchen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stratostar 5 #1636 April 11, 2016 The link will open a city commission meeting video, you need to fast forward to 29:30 to watch this part that pertains to this topic. Now you understand you'll have to watch some really stupid ass comments not only from Kim Gibbs, but her two cheerleading commissioners as well as additional general public. However it will later become clear that mayor Coombs and another comissioner as well as th city mgr and airport mgr all have a clue as to the law as its been explained to them by counsel and the FAA. In fact the mayor gives a pretty good speach, and the others all make pretty good comments about those fact too. it is worth the watching if you really want to understand what is going on here and who is acting the fools. https://m.youtube.com/watch?list=PL8A0A5EA9A2D2CD5C&index=1&v=UxjjS2UwMzoyou can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

normiss 858 #1638 April 11, 2016 That poor commission, I feel for them having to endure so much insanity and misunderstanding of aviation and contract law. How the hell did Ms. Peck get on ANY council? "You've tied our fingers!" For that community, I really hope other business is handled much more efficiently.

ryoder 1,590 #1639 April 11, 2016 Polly Christensen: "We have noise rules for the city and we have noise rules for the county..." Conveniently ignoring the fact the county rules explicitly exempt aviation, and the city rules don't mention it at all.

Elisha 1 #1640 April 11, 2016 I can't believe I listened to nearly an hour of that silliness. Oh, well - at least I got a real perspective of the nut jobs there. I just hope they eventually give up and stop bother Mile-Hi. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FlyingRhenquest 1 #1642 April 11, 2016 Heh. The F18s were taking off out of Broomfield yesterday. The 5 I heard take off sounded like they were tearing the sky a new asshole, and they were being pretty restrained about their takeoffs. They should come pay Vance Brand a visit for a few days!I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind. Hey... is it hot in here?

fencebuster 7 #1648 April 12, 2016 I know what you mean. That is 30 minutes of my life that I'll never get back. People really have a difficult time with the supremacy clause -- FAA controls the navigable airspace, airports and the airspace necessary to land at those airports. Trying to impose local limits on lawful aviation activities is a waste of oxygen.
